The eight members of the State Highway Commission are appointed by the governor with the consent of a majority of all the members of the Legislature, within statutory requirements for geographic representation, U.S. citizenship, age, residency and party affiliation (Neb. Rev. Stat. §39-1101). The governor can remove commission members for inefficiency, neglect of duty or misconduct in office, after an opportunity for a hearing (Neb. Rev. Stat. §39-1104). The commission is advisory only and has no authority over NDOR (Neb. Rev. Stat. §39-1110). The NDOR director is appointed by the governor, subject to confirmation by a majority vote of the members elected to the Legislature, and can be removed by the governor (Neb. Rev. Stat. §81-102; Neb. Const. art. IV, §10).
